EastEnders: It’s no surprise that Jay is thinking about moving away. What he really wants, though, is for Ben to leave with him

Sadly, before he has the chance to consider Jay’s offer, Sharon mentions how much Phil is loving having him around, and Ben decides he can’t upset his dad now he’s on the mend.

One person who is most definitely still upset is Michelle who, when she’s not busy moaning to Sharon about her underage affair with her pupil Preston back in Florida, is generally moping about the place, getting on Stacey’s nerves – and Sharon’s, for that matter.

We have to say, our sympathies are very much with Stace and Sharon on this one.

Michelle’s husband Tim does sound like an insensitive soul for telling his wife that he doesn’t fancy middle-aged women, but how Michelle, who used to pursue older men such as Den Watts, has come to the conclusion that a teenage boy is the answer is fairly baffling.

Will Mick lose The Vic?

EastEnders: Mick is doing his best to soldier on with dodgy-dealing Babe

Poor Mick and The Vic. Right now, it’s hard to know which is in the worse state. With his beloved ‘L’ off in Spain, tending to her sick mum Elaine following her stroke, Mick is doing his best to soldier on with dodgy-dealing Babe, a somewhat sedate Shirley and a preoccupied Whitney for support.

Meanwhile, despite the many theme nights – and there’s another this week – takings are down at The Vic and, on top of everything, the roof has started leaking, which isn’t going to be cheap.

Could a musical turn by Sylvie be the answer to all their prayers? We reckon Beyoncé would need to show up to save Mick’s bacon…
